BANANA BRAIN
Ex-Envoy to Russia Blasts Foreign Policy
Speaking before approximately 100 persons yesterday afternoon in Founders hall. William C. Bullitt, former ambassador to Russia and France, compared the U. S. with a dinosaur having “a body the size of a locomotive and a brain the size of a banana.”
“We have the resources and economy,” he said in his speech, j which was sponsored by the SC Young Republicans, "but we haven't the brains.
“The United State’s foreign pol- j icy is based on two assumptions,” i he continued. "(1). that Soviet Russia is a peace-loving country and (2) that the Chinese cumrrun- j ists are not connected with Russia.”
Stop Russian*
“The Soviet government will not stop, it must be •topped,” Bullitt said. "We must end this war in | Korea . . . and we must unify the peoples of Western Europe before . it is too late.”
Bullitt stated that the Korean war could Easily be won if the United States would blockade the China coast, cut Chinese commun- j ist lines of comi.uinication, and bomb key positions. The Russians, he said, would "howl but do nothing" as they are not yet prepared for an all-out war.
“We are also allowing Great Britain to supply the Chinese communists with the arms and supplies that "carry death to our men,” Bullitt said.
Read Reports “Most presidents, however, sit in Washington and read reports of fellow travelers to decide foreign policy,” he said. “Eisenhower wants to go to Korea and see what the situation is.”
Besides winning the Korean war, we must also build up our air force and help Western Europe to unite.
“Europe must unite by their own will.” he said, “or be forced to unite by the aggressive USSR. The United States can help by stimulating economic prosperity and a unified army.”
Stevenson, "bamboozled by starry-eyed Peter Pans called liberals,” still thinks Russia can be dealt with by "sweat, negotiations, and compromise.” However, “Russians cannot be dealt with this way,” said Bullitt. “If you turn the other cheek, they’ll cut your throat. If you embrace them, they’ll stab you in the back.”
Floftr Denuuider One member of the audienc£ apparently not convinced by Bullitt’s testimony, demanded the floor several times, finally asking. “Do you think that if Stevenson la elected the country would cease to exist?”
“That’s a silly question.” answered Bullitt, and when the disturbance continued, “.Are you a
representative of the Communist party?”
"I am not,” snapped the questioner and then left.
Bullitt also told of Russia’s system of educating its youth to believe that the U. S. is a horribly backward and cruel nation, where children are treated like animals.

Tommy Trojan Attack Foiled Invaders Leave C on Lawn
Unknown culprits invaded the SC campus late Monday night, successfully burned a block “C” on the lawn in Alumni Park and threw blue and yellow paint on the base of Tommy Trojan:
Equipped with a well-stocked supply of paint and brushes, the invaders were forced to forget their artistic pursuits when Lee Wininger. a graduate student in industrial design, and a campus custodian rushed to the rescue of the Trojan warrior. Throwing the bottles of paint ... a futile last-minute gesture the raiders missed the bronze statue, but paint was spilled on the base.
Jumping into a nearby car, the “aspiring Rem-brants-’ made their escape east on 36th street.
Gasoline Used Wininger also reported that earlier tin the evening he saw four unknown men pouring gasoline on the front center aisle of the Doheny library lawn. Although he ordered them to halt Wininger reported he was unable to apprehend the culprits when they ran to \their car and fled.
Unknown to the raiders. Wininger was successful in taking down the license number of the car. He reported the episode and the license number to university police.
It was discovered later that a huge “C" resulted from the gasoline poured on the library lawTi. The inscription will apparently be evident for a long period of time, according to campus maintenance men.
Aided by the recent application of a special plastic covering, Tommy Trojan weathered tne latest onslaught as university painters were able to clean hm ol all traces of paint.
Eric Larson, head university painter, praised the durability of the plastic coating. The veteran painter, who has reportedly cleaned Tommy “three or four times a year for the last six or eight years,” commented on the economical value of the protecting cover
In past raids, six to eight gallons of varnish remover were needed to thoroughly clean the statjae and its base. However, in yesterday's scrubbing, four painters needed only six gallons of paint thinner to clean the statue in three hours, Larson said.
Larson also suggested that the concrete base, because of its high porosity, should be coated a few’ more times with the highly successful plastic coating.
Denial by DB
Although denying any knowledge of the SC invasion. the Daily Bruin, when contacted for comment. reported that "there had been some talk of a possible raid during the past weeks.” Daily Bruin Editor Dick Schenk stated that the attack may have been an attempt at retaliation for a successful acid inscription of an “SC” block on the Westwood campus a few weeks ago.
Several members of Row houses learning of the Tommy Trojan painting, quickly united forces and made an impromptu raid on UCLA early yesterday morning. Loaded dowTi with paper remnants of Homecoming floats and displays, the SC students were attempting to dump their cargo upon the Westwood campus when California State Highway officers intervened.
Held for investigation, the students were later released when no evidence of red paint or other destructive liquids were found in their cars.
Two Professors Rap McCarthy 's Monday Talk
Wisconsin Senator’s ‘Expose’ Debunked by Political Scientists
Presidential campaign enthusiasts were presented with another object of discussion Monday evening when Sen. Joseph McCarthy unleashed one of his insinuating sp^ches, this time in a slashing address telling why he believed Adlai Stevenson is not qualified for the presidency.
The senator accused Stevenson on several counts ranging from being endorsed by the Kremlin and ridiculing the church, to favoring a world government over our present national state.
Opinions on the speech will be advanced in coffee shops, busses, at athletic events, in bars, and class rooms as well as any other place where people meet and speak.
It seemed interesting to find out what political science educators could say on the subject.
Dr. Christol Comments Professor Carl Q. Christol, Jr... thought that the speech was a cleverly timed political address. People generally become more alert about this time in the presidential campaign.
Christol said it w’as political in the sense that it was trying to capture votes, but it was no more objective “than the wild unfounded smears that have been so closely associated with McCarthy and his curious political mentality.”
“McCarthy did not charge Stevenson and anything except being an outstanding citizen, but he implied that Stevenson is a communist by saying ‘there is something wrong somewhere.’ ” “The McCarthy speech does not destroy my conviction that both Stevenson and Eisenhow'er are seriously intent on eradicating subversives from government,” Christol said.
Different Techniques "The objectives of Stevenson and Eisenhow'er are undoubtedly shared by McCarthy, but the methods of Stevenson and Eisenhower must be considered as ethical, based upon clear proof of guilt, w'hile McCarthy still seems resolved to use his own method of wild charges rather than by proof of a kind that .wouM stand up in a law court,” Christol continued.
More comment was derived from Dr. Totten J. Anderson, professor of political science.
Dr. Anderson said, “McCarthy has developed" a political technique for attack and defense, which has proved to be highly successful. His strategy for attack is know'n as the-guilt-by-association formula.’ ”
Offense
An example of this practice states the communist party be lieves in overthrow of govern ment by violence. Mr. A is a communist; a question on the rights of Mr. B arises.
Mr. A protests publicly that Mr. B’s rights are being infringed; Mr. C also protests publicly that Mr. B’s rights are in peril; therefore, Mr. C is a communist; and. therefore, Mr. C believes that the government should be overthrown by force.
Dr. Anderson said that the atiove example is typical of the false logic evident in the guilt-by-association practice.
Defense
"McCarthy’s speech Monday night followed his formula. He also has a formula for defense len faced with proof of mis statement of faci. He ignores the proof by attacking the person offering the proof, denying that such a statement was ever made, repeating the charge with variations, and or making new charges, also without foundation,” Anderson said.
Christol said, "The charge that Stevenson w'as a member of the Atcheson-Hiss clique undoubtedly was based on the statement which Gov. Stevenson made about the Hiss case in June, 1949.
Hiss Case At that time Gov. Stevenson said in a sworn statement that he thought that the reputation of Hiss for integrity, loyalty, and veracity wras good. The deposition was not volunteered by Stevenson, but was requested by the lawyers for Hiss.
Christol said, it is important to remember that McCarthy’s radio time was not bought by the Republican National committee but by a group of Chicago business men. The interesting question, is whether or not Eisenhower approves of the McCarthy tactics.

Train Seats To The Farm All But Cone
Rapidly reaching sellout proportions, ticket sales for the rooters’ special to Palo Alto on Nov. 7 will close Friday at 3 p.m., George Moran, ticket representative for the Southern Pacific company, said yesterday.
Snly 90 train tickets remain d, Moran said. "Student response during the remainder of this week will determine if Southern Pacific officials will enlist another rooters’ special.”
Moran said that students who have made earlier reservations should come to the campus ticket office in order to secure their tickets.
Students planning to take the rooters’ special need rtot be concerned about the latjk of transportation facilities in the Bay area, according to Moran. Special arrangements have been made for commuters’ service from San Francisco hotels to Palo Alto.
Campus organizations may make arrangements to schedule special buses for groups of 30 or more. A bus fare of about $1 will be imposed for S. F. to Palo Alto.
Regular commuters’ service from San Francisco to Palo Alto will also be offered to individual students. Leaving from the Third street and Townsend avenue station at 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.; the trains will unload passengers at the Palo Alto station, located four blocks from the Stanford stadium. Return runs will leave at 4:43 and 5:45 p.m.
Actual ticket sales for the SC-Stanford game have passed the ! 9,200 mark, ticket manager John Morley reported.
“More than 6,000 reserved tickets have been sold,” Morley said, "plus 3,200 student ticket purchases.”
29th anniversary as a republic today.
Dr. Bedri Gursoy, professor at the University of Ankara in Turkey, will represent the Turkish ambassador to the United States and take part in the dedication with President Fred D. Fagg Jr. Gursoy is presently enrolled in the School of Public Administration.
Bill James, past president. of Acacia fraternity, was the originator of the idea for the stone in 1947 and obtained permission from the Turkish government to .have it shipped to SC.
“It w'as originally planned," said James, "to use the stone either as the cornerstone for the International house or in the proposed Wall of Troy. However, government red tape held up its delivery until the fall of 1950 and it was then too late.”
The three years between 1947 and 1950 were spent in contacting officials of the Turkish government and members of the American State department in Turkey, James said.
Although Turkey agreed to donate the stone, it could not be given to an individual or a fraternity therefore it was presented to the university.
Believed to be the only stone from Troy in the United States, the relic was taken from a large column in the temple of Apollo in that ancient city.
On its base it will bear the following quotation from Byron: “Ye parent gods! who rule the fate of Troy,
Still dwells the Dardan spirit in the boy:
When minds, like these in striplings thus ye raise.
Yours is the godlike act, be yours the praise.”

Vote’s Effects to Be Aired
The effects of the new' president of the United States on foreign affairs will be discussed j tomorrow at noon in the patio of the YWCA. Carl Q. Christol, associate professor of political science, and Leon Henkin, professor of mathematics, will lead tha discussion.
Establishing a loyalty oath, raising old-age pensions, and eliminating cross-filling were among six controversial propositions debated on campus yesterday afternoon.
Propositions 5 and 6. which, in the words of negative speaker Leon Henkin, assistant professor of mathematics, "provide an inadequate way of catching a subversive,” were the most prominent of the issues discussed.
James Doherty, deputy city attorney, the affirmative speaker for 5 and 6, said that proposition 6 was merely to insure the loyalty of public employees to the government.
“Proposition 6 is,” he said, ‘‘a pledge of present and future loyalty, and is fundamentally only a re-statement of the present state oath taken by all public employees.”
Legislate Love?
“The state should not try to legislate on loyalty,” Henken said, “What constitutes loyalty? It’s like trying to legislate on love.”
Doherty pointed out that both 5 and 6 were passed by the state assembly and senate by a majority vote of both Democrats and Republicans.
The most heated debate was on proposition 11, with some discussion on 10.
Proposition 10 prohibits the appropriation of public money to organizations which attempt to influence legislation, and directs the attorney general to recover all public money which has been expended in this manner.
Proposition 10 would raise old-age benefits, and cha'nge the system of administration of funds.
Arthur Brooks Jr. represented the affirmative for the California Institute of Public Wel-lare. Lawrence Chandler, legislative representative of the Los Angeles* Chamber of Commerce, spoke for the opposition.
Old-Age Pension
Brooks said that the question on 11 was simply whether one believed in adequate old-age pension or not.
Chandler read a report illustrating that the old-age pensions had gradually increased over the*
years, raising with the cost of living. He said that under proposition 11 persons undeserving of aid would profit.
The question of elimination of cross-filing, proposition 13, and proposition 7, which requires that candidates state their party affiliation on the ballot, were debated by Godfrey Isaac and Edward Jonesy
Isaac, representing the Organization to Abolish Cross-filing in California, said that cross-filing creates hypocricy in candidates, and is undermining the two-party system.
The Record
Jones’ main point of defense was the record of good government in California since the inauguration of cross-filing in 1913.
“It permits the voter a wider choice and prevents the growth of party bosses.” Jones said.
The debate was sponsored by ! Pi Sigma Alpha, national political science fraternity. Wallace Best, j fraternity president, was chair-
